So, basically, european squeezeboxes are now dead because the servers have been hacked.

Time to go Chromecast Audio.

Why no thread directly addressing the issue?

Btw, once mysqueezebox.com is down LMS won't see your device.

Total bollox.

1. It looks like a hardware failure with the Load Balancing equipment not a hack.
2. All Squeezeboxes will continue to work if you have a local LMS server. Spotify & Deezer etc won't work but radio will.

No, as you can see on the twitter feed Michael is indeed working the MySB issue. Doesn't seem to be trivial this time.

Ok, got it. Never personally tried LMS as I never needed it.

> Why on the router?

To have one less piece of hardware running and consuming and one less plug in the wall (the router's USB does only give 0.5W).
And because my router is capable of having additional packages installed, run Perl etc.

I will surely buy another one that can run OpenWrt.

> With a Pi for $5 you just plug it back into the new router.

I don't want to have another (ok, low consumption -but still) piece of hardware running 24/7 as I already have my router running 24/7.

That is not my problem. I do actually own a Pi already, but it's designated to other purposes.
I compiled OpenWrt myself and installed it on my router.
I do fiddle.

As it stands now, the best option is to trying to make LMS work on OpenWrt following the instructions for other Linux distributions. In absence of pre-compiled package, I am afraid this project will have to wait at least until Christmas vacations.
